Optimization of a horizontal slot waveguide biosensor to detect DNA hybridization.
A full-vectorial H-field formulation-based finite element approach is used to optimize a biosensor structure incorporating a horizontal slot waveguide. It is designed to detect DNA hybridization through the change of the effective index of the waveguide structure. The key parameters, such as normalized power confinement, power density, change in effective index, and sensitivity are presented by...
متن کاملRigorous characterization of acoustic-optical interactions in silicon slot waveguides by full-vectorial finite element method.
For the first time detailed interactions between optical and acoustic modes in a silicon slot waveguide are presented. A new computer code has been developed by using a full-vectorial formulation to study the acoustic modes in optical waveguides. The results have shown that the acoustic modes in an optical slot waveguide are not purely longitudinal or transverse but fully hybrid in nature. The ...

A full-vectorial pseudospectral method is reported for solving the mode characteristics of nonlinear dielectric and plasmonic waveguides. The coupled equations are formulated in terms of transverse magnetic-field components, and self-consistent solutions are obtained through an iterative procedure. The proposed scheme applies in a saturable medium with biaxial anisotropy of practical interest. ...

متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Mushroom-type Traveling Wave Electroabsorption Modulators Using Full-Vectorial Finite Difference Method
Larger width of P-cladding layer in p-i-n waveguide of traveling wave electroabsorption modulator (TWEAM) results in lower resistance and microwave propagation loss which provides an enhanced high speed electro-optical response. In this paper, a fullvectorial finite-difference-based optical mode solver is presented to analyze mushroom-type TWEAM for the first time. In this analysis, the discont...
